Alvin Haymond - CB

Alvin Haymond played for the Eagles just for one season (1968), as their starting right cornerback. 

 

Haymond was drafted by the Colts in 1964, and was their top kickoff and punt returner for his 4 seasons in Baltimore. In '65 and '66 he led the NFL in punt returns and return yardage. He was only a regular starter for one season (free safety in 1966). 

 

Before the 1968 season he was traded to the Eagles for halfback Timmy Brown. He played 11 of 14 games for the Birds (starting 9 games), and was also their primary return man. 

 

After one season he moved on to the Rams (in one of 4 Eagles/Rams trades that off-season). 

 

He played 3 seasons for the Rams and one each for the Redskins and Oilers, but only started 1 game in those 5 seasons. However, he continued to be a top-notch return artist, leading the NFL in punt return yardage in 1969 and kick return yardage in 1970.

Haymond was already a Los Angeles Ram when this 1969 card was issued.
